Germany: Activists to demonstrate in Berlin Jan. 9
Activists to protest at Pariser Platz in Berlin, Germany, from 11:00 Jan. 9. Heightened security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to protest at Pariser Platz in Berlin from 11:00 Jan. 9. The purpose of the demonstration is to commemorate the killings of three Kurdish activists in Paris in 2013 and three others at a Kurdish cultural center in the same city in 2022. It was not immediately clear how many people would participate in the protest.
Law enforcement officers will likely deploy nearby to facilitate the gathering. The presence of protesters and police will likely disrupt vehicular transport in the area. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers or opposed individuals cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the protest site. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
